Funding & Grants for Your Web Project
Irish small businesses can access government funding of up to 50% through Local Enterprise Office (LEO) initiatives to cover modern web development, online systems, and software integration.
Crucial Rule: No Retrospective Funding
No work can commence and no payments can be made before receiving your official Letter of Offer.
If you pay a deposit or if design/development work starts before your application is approved and the Letter of Offer is issued, that work becomes entirely ineligible for funding.
Available Support Programs
Compare the three main programs designed to fund digital progress, web design, and consultancy for Irish SMEs.

Complete LEO Digital Assessment
Apply for the free 'Digital for Business' scheme. A consultant works with you to audit your technology and issue an official assessment report, which is required for the larger €5,000 voucher.
Get a Custom Quote & Spec
We work together to design a project specification tailored to your business needs (e.g. Next.js performance website, Keystatic CMS integration, custom CRM links) and issue a formal quote.
Submit Your Application
Log in to your local Local Enterprise Office (LEO) portal and submit your quote, project specification, and digital assessment report.
Wait for the Letter of Offer
Your local LEO reviews the application. Once approved, they issue an official Letter of Offer. You must wait for this letter before any work starts.
Launch & Claim
We build and launch your project. You pay the invoice in full, then submit proof of payment and work completion to your LEO to receive your 50% cash grant refund.
